Simply Wall St · 5d ago

Why Aeris Resources (ASX:AIS) is back on investors’ radar

Aeris Resources (ASX:AIS) is attracting fresh attention after securing Development Consent for its Constellation Project. This project is expected to lift production capacity at the Tritton Copper Mine in New South Wales.

See our latest analysis for Aeris Resources.

The Constellation approval comes after a strong run in the shares, with a 30 day share price return of 25.74% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 252.78%. However, 3 and 5 year total shareholder returns remain slightly negative, suggesting momentum has picked up only more recently.

If developments like Constellation have you thinking about where growth could come from next, it may be worth scanning fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as a starting point for other ideas.

The shares now sit close to one broker’s price target and the recent rally has been powerful. The key question for you is whether Aeris still trades at a discount or if the market is already pricing in future growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 3% Overvalued

Compared with the last close of A$0.64, the most followed narrative points to a fair value of A$0.62, which creates a small valuation gap for investors to consider.

The Constellation deposit presents a significant opportunity for increasing production, with updated reserves indicating a larger open pit than initially expected. This is expected to provide a baseload feed to the Tritton mill for several years, which in turn may support sustainable revenue growth and improved earnings.

Curious how a single ore body, modest revenue assumptions and a tighter margin profile still support that price? The full narrative lays out the numbers step by step.

Result: Fair Value of $0.62 (OVERVALUED)

However, you still need to weigh up risks such as project delays at Murrawombie or Constellation, as well as pressure on cash flows from high capital spending and bonding requirements.

Another Angle on Value

The narrative fair value of A$0.62 suggests Aeris is around 3% above that mark, yet our earnings based view points in a different direction. On a P/E of 16.1x, Aeris trades well below the Australian Metals and Mining industry at 24x and peers at 28.9x, and also below its fair ratio of 22.4x. That gap could point to upside if sentiment shifts, or signal that the market is still cautious. Which story do you think holds more weight?
